New year, new-ish version of WordPress (2.7) and I thought it was time to check out a new theme. This one is called “Amazing Grace” by Vladimir Prelovac and seems to work pretty nicely out of the box. Instead of a long banner image rotated across the top on various pages, it has a smaller snapshot (which will be easier to deal with, editing wise). Those are not currently my pictures, but they’re similar to some I’ve taken on various trips, so I’ll be able to figure out how to substitute my own for the default ones. I’m not sure…

Now WordPress 2.7… does what 2.5 did. Actually, a plugin called MiniPosts2 has been updated so that it behaves more like it did on the 2.5 edit screen. This makes it a lot quicker and easier to do “asides” again.

Here’s how David fixed the problem I was having posting to WordPress from any source other than my normal edit window. See if you can make any sense of it; all I know is I can post to my blog from my iPhone, Flickr, Scribefire (I’m still using 3.1.3), and probably ecto/Linear again. Geeky Ramblings » Blog Archive » Temporary LIBXML2 solution The problem has been narrowed down to a bug in LIBXML2 that causes leading angle brackets “<†to be stripped off of posts when processed through the XMLRPC support in PHP. I logged the issue in the WordPress…

And this is a test of the WordPress app for iPhone. After setting up the improved Light Saber app, which allows custom characters and visialisations. I decided I was a Lemurian named Gi-Ginn 3-Ak’bal.

This is a test of the Non-urgency Moblogization System. No cats have been mobilized, there is no cause for alarm. Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: Test Cattern By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 26 Nov ’08, 8.44pm CST PST UPDATE: Posting moblogged photos via Flickr works, WordPress is no longer stripping the HTML brackets! My husband David will post a more technical explanation, but basically he set up the blog on a virtual server, and installed an older version of Linux running in VMWare on that server. It’s complicated. Let’s just say I can now post to the blog…

Naow that we can has a competent, intelligent preznit naow who is also spiritual, I’m reminded of a rarely-heard Eucharistic prayer from the Book of Common Prayer. I’m going to bug my priest, Steve, to use this one more often (he tends to either stray far from the BCP into other national church’s prayer books, or stick to the bog-standard “Eucharistic Prayer A.” When I lived in Seattle and was a member of Trinity Episcopal, we prayed “Eucharistic Prayer C” during much of the later summer and fall, when a more ecological view was appropriate to the season. One of…

What’s New in ScribeFire 3.1.3? – ScribeFire: Fire up your blogging The following changes were made to ScribeFire between versions 3.1.2 and 3.1.3: Bug Fixes Fixed bug causing some users to see “Could not set up API Object for Blog type” error Yeah, this post using Scribefire is probably still going to get the angle brackets stripped by WordPress: this started happening with the latest version of WP and no fix in sight yet. It’s a PHP bug, and not easily fixable according to David. UPDATE: Yep, it failed. I don’t know if WP 2.7 will fix this or not.

It’s about time. There still doesn’t seem to be paste, quick links or mimipost support, but can do on direct moblogging.

I’ve discovered a useful Firefox plugin for blogging: ScribeFire. I’m currently checking to see what it can do, but so far about the only thing is that I can’t seem to find a way to do a mini-post. However, it’s got an option for bookmarking with Technorati Tags to del.icio.us. More playing is warranted. The slick thing is that it’s a graphical overlay that sits at the bottom of whatever webpage you invoke it on… and you can go from page to page to page, with the edit window open and useable. Rather handy for those kinds of posts where…
